Why tethered drone cleaning system

 Safer work at height

Move operators off the façade and onto the ground. A drone cleaning system reduces direct exposure to working-at-height risks while keeping the job controlled and visible.

Clean up to 5x faster than manual labor.

With the tethered drone power system, you can operate 24/7 without landing for battery swaps, covering up to 800 m² per /H. Finish massive projects in a fraction of the time.

Reach the unreachable.

Drones can easily access difficult corners, overhangs, steep solar farms, and skyscrapers that heavy machinery cannot touch. The flexible maneuverability ensures no spot is left uncleaned.

Drastically reduce operational costs.

Drone cleaning removes the need for expensive crane rentals, scaffolding, or boom lifts. It also reduces the required workforce size, offering a high Return on Investment (ROI) for service providers.

FAQ regarding drone facade cleaning

Is this a cleaning service?

No, we are a manufacturer. We sell the drone cleaning equipment to professional cleaning companies and service providers, we only sell the drone cleaning system, we do not provide the cleaning service .

Which DJI drones are supported?

RT-AP3 supports DJI Matrice M300/M350 per specifications. M400-compatible configurations are also available—request a quote to confirm the exact package for your platform.

Do you sell the drone or just the cleaning equipment?

We primarily sell the RT-AP3 Cleaning Payload System. However, we can provide a complete turnkey solution (Drone + Payload) if you need a flight platform.

What is the maximum spray pressure?

The system delivers up to 30 MPa (adjustable), suitable for tough industrial grime.

Is it difficult to control the drone with the hose attached?

No. firstly, DJI Enterprise drones, such as the DJI M350 and M400, are very powerful and intelligent drone platforms. Considering the requirement for easy and stable operation, also for our cleaning system ,the Pliabot® technology helps balance the drone against the weight of the hose and the recoil of the water spray, ensuring stable flight,

Can I use chemical cleaning agents?

Yes. The ground pump allows you to mix specific cleaning agents (pH neutral recommended) for different surfaces.

What happens if the drone hits the wall?

the flexible arm absorbs the force, preventing a crash. This is our key safety feature compared to rigid cleaning systems.

What is typical cleaning productivity?

Up to 800 m²/h (8,611 ft²/h) depending on workflow and surface conditions.

What does the tethered system mean?

A “tethered system” means the drone operates while connected to the ground through a tether (a hose and/or cable). The tether provides continuous supply during operation—either water for cleaning or power for flight, depending on the configuration.


1) Tethered water supply (included for the cleaning system)

With the tethered water system, the ground hose connects directly to the aerial cleaning payload. The drone lifts the hose during flight, enabling continuous water delivery for pressure washing without being limited by an onboard tank.


What it’s for: uninterrupted water supply for long-duration cleaning

How it works: ground water source/pump → hose → aerial cleaning payload

Key benefit: longer continuous cleaning and stable throughput (no refilling stops)

2) Tethered power supply (optional for the drone, not included)

The tethered power supply system is a separate tethering setup that provides continuous electrical power to the drone, so it can operate for extended periods without battery swaps (subject to operational and safety requirements).


What it’s for: extended flight time and reduced downtime

How it works: ground power unit → tether cable → drone power input

Key benefit: longer continuous operation and higher daily productivity

Note: “Tethered water” and “tethered power” are different systems—one supplies water for cleaning, the other supplies power for flight. Your actual setup may use one or both, depending on the job and configuration.

What’s in the box for this cleaning system?

This is a complete aerial cleaning system. With this kit, you can start a drone-based cleaning business right away. It includes the high-pressure cleaning unit, hose, winch kit, pump, water bucket, installation kit, carry case, and all related accessories—no additional equipment required. Everything you need is included.
